We insert a memory chip into our Kodak EasyShare C190 camera. The read-out informs us that the memory card requires formatting. We click on "OK." The camera goes into a "formatting" mode, then informs us that the memory card cannot be read. It goes back to the "Memory card requires formatting" prompt, we click on "OK," it goes back into the "formatting" mode, then tells us again that the memory card cannot be read. We can't do anything else with the camera until we take the chip out, then we hav

I have a pentax optio A30 with 2.0 gb card. I took pictures last night of my grandsons birthday and was viewing them in the camera as I took them. Tonight I went to put them on my computer and i get a message on my camera that says " card not formatted" and I cannot find my pictures in the camera, and I cannot upload them at all - I was just looking at them last night. I have not done anything with my camera. HELP!!! How could I have lost my grandson's pictures when they were all there last nig

I hope you didn't format the card because that erases the pics forever. You could get a separate card reader and try to download them that way. You could take the card to a store like Walmart and plug the card into one of their picture making machine ...
Pentax Digital Cameras

Hi, I've just purchased a Pentax Optio S12 as a second camera (my first camera is a Pentax Optio S40). I'm trying to install the ACDsee software that came with the camera. I am familiar with this software as the 1st camera uses it (I already have a version on my computer) When I try to install it, I get an error message saying "Epson Scan cannot be started - do you want to open the troubleshooting assistant" If I say yes, the troubleshooting assistant opens (but there doesn't seem to be anything

The 'selector' mode that moves between recording, camera modes etc. won't move from the recording mode. Worked great this morning. Videotaped entire disc but now cannot move that green-light selector. HELP!! It's a borrowed camera and I don't believe I pushed anything I shouldn't have!

Well, this could be a problem.. This usually happens if the camera has been dropped or bumped hard? If that hasn't happened, then all you can try, is to Take the battery OUT, wait a min or so, and replace batteries, This will cause all to be "Reset" ...

My Olympus Digital Camera D510's Lens jammed and not going in and I am not able to do photography.
My Camera working fine in View mode and able to view photos from card. But in picture mode screen is showing empty, I think problem occurred because a gentle pressure come on Lens.
I showed my D510 to Olympus authorized shop and they are saying it is related to shuttle lock (I don't know what it is). But as I am not having international warranty they refused to repair and asked to charge around

Whenever I plug the USB cable into my camera, the screen goes black. It does it even when the cable isn't plugged into the computer. Even though the screen is black the camera still functions normally but it won't let me upload anything. When i try to upload my pictures it keeps saying USB Mode connecting........ then it says below that: Switch on [ MENU ] .... i don't know what to do ????

As far as I know, most cameras are made so that once it senses a USB cable (whether as being inserted physically or as a source of current), it reduces the camera to pretty much no more than a memory card reader. It is my belief this is so you ...

The most common cause of this problem is a locked memory card. Your camera takes SD type memory so the lock should be the slider on side of the card (opposite of the missing corner). \015\012\015\012Make sure the lock slider is not in the lock ...

I have a stylus 5010 - some how the camera is hung up it says "write protect" when I turn it on and when I try to use it. I can go into the menu but I cannot do anything as "write protect" shows whenever I try to activate a function. I recently loaned it to a friend and he brought it back this way, there is another camera that we have 2010 that is acting the same way - could this be a virus that he has on his system or is this sometype of reset that needs to happen? Please help.

When in a record mode LCD says to "Please Turn Camera Off and then On Again". The lens retracts and then extends again but this message reappears whenever the camera is turned off and then on again.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 Digital Camera

USB connection The computer cannot access the Memory Stick® media in the camera when connected with the USB cable. I connect the camera to my computer using the USB, then after 10 seconds its says there is no device connected to the computer, and then it gives me option to cancel, retry, or continue but it usually connects automatically itself again. The only problem is that I can't do anything with pictures can't copy, delete, or view them. I'ce already tried to delete and reinstall the driver.

I would invest in a memory card reader. You can pick one up for under $20. Using a card reader allows you to avoid having to deal with drivers and such that may or may not be loaded on your PC. A card reader should work just fine for ya. Good luck ...

Black scrren camera seems fully functioning but only takes black photos and i cannot see anything through the screen in camera mode

I cannot see anything when in camera, film, or view mode. When I snap a photo, it sounds like a picture was taken and the flash still goes off, but nothing is displayed on the screen. Only when I attempted to upload my photos onto my PC was I able to see that my camera was in fact still taking pictures!
